Daily Markets Briefing: STI down 0.1%

Expect more losses today.

According to OCBC, renewed weakness in Wall Street on Friday could continue to weigh on local sentiment, sparking further profit-taking this morning; Nikkei opened 0.8% lower.

Here's more from OCBC:

As expected, the STI had difficulties in trying to stay above the key 3357 level once again; this paves the way for a deeper pullback towards 3302 or even 3267.

On the upside, we expect 3375 to be the next hurdle, while 3400 will be the psychological barrier to clear.

Meanwhile, the continued decline in crude prices is likely to weigh further on the oil & gas stocks as well as commodities, including CPO.

As before, we advise caution with regards to the recent run-up in penny plays, given the lack of fundamentals.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
